Mages, Adventurers, and Women

"It's a psychological attack."

Li Weidao.

What is psychological attack?

With thick skin and tough bones, he wiped away the blood from his nose and, enduring the headache, asked.

"When a mutated ghost encounters a deadly situation, it will activate the 'Ghost Howl' spell stored in the Ghost Heart, which is a wide-range attack spell specifically targeting the mind."

“The word ‘spirit’ has different names in different eras.”

"The book 【The Evolution of the Grand Continent】 states that during the era of monster invasion, people called 'spirit' the soul and regarded it as the second 'body' of living beings; during the period of racial fusion, 'spirit' was called the new world and regarded as a new way to become stronger."

"Now, after years of accumulation and continuous exploration of the spirit, everyone agrees that the spirit is related to the 'true name' of every living being. In the book 'How the True Name is Born,' the 'spirit' is defined as the anchor point of the secret world on every living being on the continent of Grand."

"The attack method, which seems to directly target the 'true name,' makes 'mental attack' the strongest attack method on the Grand Continent, bar none."

"Therefore, for most living beings, including myself, there is no way to defend against mental attacks; we can only endure them."

Yulia was completely confused.

Why is it a real name again?

She gazed at the ghost crouching on the ground, weeping in the distance, and said helplessly:

"So, shall we abandon the Ghost Heart quest?"

"Why give up?" Li Wei had regained much of his energy, his headache had eased, and he strolled towards the mutated ghost, saying confidently, "Each Ghost Heart can only store one 'Ghost Howl,' now is the perfect opportunity to make our move!"

With a fierce stern look, the bony man poured both bottles of Reality Potion onto the broadsword, which was taller than Duron, and hissed menacingly:

"You dare use that bullshit mental attack? I'll kill you!"

Seeing this, Li Wei cursed, "You bastard! Is this how you waste Reality Potions?! Can't you learn from Duro?!"

Duron carefully dripped the real potion, asking in confusion, "Is this racial discrimination?"

Bone shrank his neck, grabbed his broadsword, and ran quickly to challenge the mutated ghost to a duel.

Without its trump card, the mutated ghost is no match for the others.

It used its trump card only after it had already been wounded.

His head was severed by the bone in a few swift strokes.

A dark brown heart was dug out of the chest cavity, its surface covered with serpentine veins, as if it were alive.

He presented the bones to Li Wei as if they were a treasure, and exclaimed:

"Undead creatures are really strange. They have such realistic hearts. If you didn't know better, you would think they were taken out of some monster or beast."

Li Wei carefully tucked it into the small animal skin pouch at his waist, placing it together with the remaining Reality and Radiance potions.

This is the end.

All three adventurer quests have been completed.

21 gold coins obtained!

In a good mood, he started talking about some gossip:

"Monsters? Monsters?"

"Undead creatures almost became part of the races on our Grand Continent."

"During the period of racial integration, many powerful figures from various races proposed classifying the undead into the Grand race."

"Huh?" Yulia's curiosity was piqued by Levi. She loved hearing Levi tell gossip she had never heard before, which always surprised her.

"Don't be surprised. The powerful races that made the proposal have one thing in common—they are about to die and want to 'extend their lives' by transforming into undead creatures. To date, many powerful undead creatures have maintained close ties with powerful races."

Even long-lived elves and dragons die. Perhaps one day, those who don't want to die will turn to the undead for help.

"The undead were ultimately not classified as part of the Grand race because low-level undead creatures lacked intelligence, even less than the lowest-level wild beast, the long-toothed rabbit, or the lowest-level monster, the goblin."

"Therefore, due to various reasons, they are classified as a separate category, and all living beings that rely on necromantic elements for survival are collectively referred to as 'necromantic creatures'."

After hearing this, Yulia muttered, "I don't want to become a creepy undead creature when I die."

The Long-Toothed Rabbit is a level 1-1 beast, similar in size to a dwarf, with succulent meat, and is found throughout every grassland of the southern continent of Grand.

Li Wei saw the introduction to the long-toothed rabbit in a picture book.

Knock knock—

Castle District.

A horse-drawn carriage came speeding by.

It rampaged through the residential area without restraint.

Headed straight to the farmland area.

The target unexpectedly pointed directly at Li Wei and his group of four.

The sound of the carriage speeding by rudely interrupted Li Wei and his companions' conversation.

Pato, who called himself "Livy's top disciple," was so frightened that he disappeared without a trace.

The six priests and another nature elemental mage who had been surrounding him all ran away in a flash.

Bones and Duron stood guard in front of Livi and Julia with solemn expressions.

Julia drew her bow in preparation, standing protectively to Li Wei's side. Li Wei held a series of fireballs, and the large fireball spell, which he was not yet proficient in, was also in his trump card.

Are they up to no good?

……

……

Chapter 27: The Discovery of the Legendary Mage

The arrival was quite abrupt.

The two yellow horses suddenly stopped five meters away from the bone.

Its front legs were raised high, pulling the carriage up quite a bit, and it snorted loudly.

boom--

The carriage fell heavily, with most of its wheels embedded in the ashes.

A cloud of ashes was stirred up.

This vividly demonstrates what it means to "scatter your ashes."

In a short time.

All eyes in the farmland were drawn to the horse-drawn carriage.

For the adventurer party within Baron Della's castle territory.

Which member of the adventurer party with the carriage isn't a prominent figure in Rolling Stone?

Li Wei wondered if it was someone from "Luo Li and Bei Li" who had discovered him and was now seeking revenge.

Of all the enemies he offended, only Lori and Belle might be able to command the "Carriage Warriors" to seek revenge on him.

"Prepare for battle."

Li Wei whispered.

"Don't!"

"I am not the enemy!"

The curtain was lifted, and a muscular man, dressed in a tight priest's robe, leaped in front of the skeleton.

He is a pure-blooded human.

Standing next to the skeleton, he was actually slightly more imposing.

Is this a frail priest?

The newcomer had short, neat hair and a scar running from his left eyebrow to his right jaw, which added a fierce air to his strong physique.

Klecker raised his left hand, palm facing Levi, and said:

"I overheard you talking about some interesting things, so I came to join in the fun."

He had an eye in his palm, which he blinked at Li Wei in a human-like manner.

"A spying eye?!"

Li Wei thought to himself with envy.

This is a level 1 spell commonly used by magic-based professionals to monitor and probe their surroundings.

It is an essential spell for both outdoor and indoor use, reducing the chances of magic-based classes being ambushed.

Very easy to use.

The Greedy Mage Guild sells the "Grimoire of Peeping Eyes" for a sky-high price of 50 gold coins, knowing it's an essential spell for every magic-based class, and never offers a discount.

Seeing that Li Wei was still on guard.

Klein reveals his identity:

“Li Wei, I’ve been watching you ever since you entered this place.”

"Lady Frey said that a handsome, erudite young man with black hair and eyes has joined the competition for the only recommendation spot for the five of us to go to the White Tower region."

“I heard you correcting the spell errors for those fools.”

"To be honest, when it comes to the study of esoteric languages ​​alone, I am not as good as you."

"Among the six of us, your research on arcane languages ​​ranks in the top three."

"But your weakness is obvious. You are familiar with the history and ethnic information recorded in many cheap books, but you lack the high-priced knowledge sold in legal associations."

Frey said that Levi was the sixth person to compete for a spot on the Rolling Stones nomination list.

The visitor turned out to be one of the competitors.

Li Wei first learned that Frey's recommended spot was for the White Tower region, a holy land for magic-based professionals.

That's not surprising.

Aside from the White Tower, a holy land for magic-based professionals in the Northern Continent, the recommendation slots from other places weren't worth Elda speaking up for Levi.

Li Wei sized up the newcomer.

He may appear rough, but he has a very sensitive mind.

Li Wei only bought a few books from the Buddhist Association.

Because it's too expensive.

Since the other party has brought up "Grand Mage Frey", their identity cannot be faked.

The details of the "recommendation quota" are known only to a select few; the rest of the people are not entitled to know the inside story.

Even many legal professionals don't know who "Frei" is.

Li Wei pushed aside the bones, faced Klek directly, and said, "Your name."

"Pastor White, Klecker."

Klecker concocted a title that was the opposite of Livy's "Black Mage," implying that he knew most of Livy's information through his Eye of Peeping.

After making a joke, he continued, "The main reasons why undead creatures are classified as a separate category include what you mentioned, but a large part of it is due to the unique nature of undead creatures."

"Speciality?"

"You should know what happens to legal professionals who lose their rationality, right?"

Li Wei said: "A staff, a book of knowledge, a jewel, a painting..."

“Yes!” Klek threw out a viewpoint that Levi had never heard before, “The information I’m about to share is worth 15 gold coins. It’s information recorded in the Priests’ Association’s book, ‘Inquiry into the Elemental Origins,’ written by the legendary mage ‘Ben Wayne,’ who was famous in the White Tower region three hundred years ago.”

He said that besides losing their rationality and becoming something else, legal professionals can also become a special 'elemental state,' which he named: elemental homogenization!

"The magma deep within the Silent Valley was once formed from the homogenization of a powerful fire elemental mage."

"The highest iceberg on the Despair Plateau was formed from homogenized material by a powerful ice elemental mage."
